About Mrs. Norris:

I have been a Registered Nurse since 1981, and have worked in 
Hospitals, Doctor's offices and Schools.  My first nursing experience 
was at St. Lukes Hospital (now Sumner Regional Medical Center), where 
I worked as a floor nurse, in the OB department and as the Education 
Coordinator.  I have also worked in a Cardiology Doctor's office and at Via 
Christi - St. Joseph Medical Center, both in Wichita.  

My first School Nurse experience was in Belle Plaine KS during the 
1993-1994 school year.  I worked in the Belle Plaine school district for 
3 years.  

I came into the Wellington School District at the start of the 1996-1997 
school year.  At that time I covered all the 7 schools in the district with 
the help of a part time nurse for Special Education.  For the '97-'98 school 
year the Special Education Nurse position became a full-time position.  
Staring with the 1999-2000 school year a nurse postiion was added to cover 
the Elementary School Regular Education Students.  The District also had one 
nurse to cover all Special Education Students and I was covering the 6th-
12th grade Regular Education Students. 

Starting with the 2004-2005 School Year I will be working with the High 
School Students, Parents & Staff on a full-time basis, providing services 
for both regular and special education students.  

Janet Fine, RN, is providing regular & special educaiton services to

Alicia Cervantes, RN, is providing regular & special education services 
to the Middle School, Lincoln and the Roosevelt buildings.
